Guelaguetza Koreatown Los Angeles

Guelaguetza

Very fun fact: the URL of Guelaguetza’s website is “i love mole dot com “. Before even setting foot in this Mexican temple of Koreatown, we’re already conquered. Here’s another reason to love Guelaguetza: Jonathan Gold has nicknamed it “the...
71above Downtown Los Angeles

71Above

It would be understandable to fear that a restaurant with stunning views might be a tourist trap. 71Above, the highest restaurant west of the Mississippi, is quite the opposite. The chef imagined two or three-coursed menus which almost distract you...
Pho Cafe Silverlake Los Angeles

Pho Cafe

Pho Cafe isn’t your typical Vietnamese restaurant you’d find in Little Saigon, Orange County. It has a Silverlake vibe to it, you might even see a couple of famous chefs on their days off slurping some noods among hipsters. When...
Bestia Downtown Los Angeles

Bestia

Slow and steady may win the race, but at Bestia you must run fast to snap a table. More like trying to book three months in advance for a table of four on a Saturday night… A few lucky ones...

Badmaash Downtown Los Angeles

Badmaash

Badmaash is nothing like your typical Indian restaurant — quite the opposite. Bollywood films projected on its walls, an gigantic Andy Warhol-style painting of Gandhi wearing Wayfarers… you feel more in Brick Lane than Downtown LA! The menu’s funky too:...
Taylors Steakhouse Koreatown Los Angeles

Taylor’s Steakhouse

Since 1953, Taylor’s Steakhouse has been serving some of the most iconic American dishes in a classic decor: leather booths, white tablecloths, dark wood walls… Enjoy an old-school surf and turf with lobster and New York Strip steak, topped with...
Matsuhisa Beverly Hills Los Angeles

Matsuhisa

Welcome to the mothership. The first restaurant of Nobu Matsuhisa, whose first name has since become an empire. Matsuhisa influenced hundreds of restaurants around the world: whenever you see sashimi with jalapeño on a menu, that’s him. Same goes for...
The Butchers Daughter Venice Los Angeles

The Butcher’s Daughter

As the name does not suggest, The Butcher’s Daughter is a vegan canteen. From their first shop in Nolita, they kept the most popular dishes: spicy kale Caesar, black bean burger and the famous smashed avocado toast — there’s even...
